Indicator metadata and score calculation

Definition:	Average annual growth rate in greenhouse gas emissions over the last decade, adjusted to account for declines in GDP and for how close countries are to a target of zero absolute emissions. This indicator is calculated using two equally weighted variants: The absolute target is based on per capita emissions (EPI variable GTI), and the absolute target is based on emissions intensity of GDP (EPI-variable GTP).
Year:	2024
Unit:	Standardized Scale
Direction:	High values translate into high scores
Source 1:	EPI
Data for:
Annotation:	Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy, Environmental Performance Index (EPI): Datasets: GHG growth rate adjusted by emissions intensity (GTI) and GHG growth rate adjusted by per capita emissions (GTP). URL: https://epi.yale.edu/downloa… extracted 2024/07/03.

Calculation:	Long-term data series were used to set appropriate minimum and maximum values.
Maximum:	68.1625
Minimum:	20.2625
/	Above/Below IQR boundary value. See FAQ for further information.
Distance:	Distance=(value for calculation-minimum)/(maximum-minimum)
Score:	Score=1+relative distance*9
Annotat.:	Indicator calculated by Margit Kraus (Calculus Consult).
